Hi, so is "Backup current Rom" in rom manager from clockwork mod the same thing as doing a nandroid backup? If not, how in the heck do I do a nandroid backup?
Yea it's the same.
I had a random problem last time I did a backup through rom manager. Md5 sum was wrong. It s not that hard to just boot into recovery, so that's what I do. Better safe than sorry!

Hello
What is a nandroid backup? How do i do a nandroid backup? I have a nexus one flashed CM 6.00 RC2
Thanks in advance
basically a nandroid is a image of your phone, like a backup in windows, when you restore a nandroid it puts your phone back how it was when you made it, with data and apps and everything.
well, first you gotta boot into recovery.
which did you install? Clockwork or Amon_Ra? Not that they are that different
Then go to backup/restore and select nandroid backup then restore it whenevery your phone/rom is not working correct.
I installed ROM manager and flashed the clockwork mod. In the ROM manager do i enter recovery mode?

You can, or you can select backup current rom in rom manager
sorry for the really stupid question, if i make a nandroid back, what does that do exactly? does that hold all the data and apps and everything? so like if I switch roms, it makes it exactly the same as before?
or does it wipe the rom and everything?
nandroid backs up the complete phone. Apps, contacts, android OS... everything. If you restore a nandroid backup, it will put the phone in the state it was in when the backup was created. If you are rooted and you haven't made a nandroid backup yet.. DO IT!
And how exactly do you do a nandroid backup?

1. when you go into your recovery manually, and it takes to you to the clockwork recovery, its because you (the clockwork app) replaced the original recovery, with its own
2. In clockwork app, hitting the "back up rom" feature, will automatically boot into recovery, and automatically run the nandroid back up for you.
3. Nandroid makes an exact copy of your current running rom. Apps, settings, and data, even placement of all your apps and wall paper. Think of it as a ghost image for a pc, but for your phone.

Ok so this is probably a total n00b question but I would like help understanding. What is the difference between a nandroid backup and the current ROM backup from ROM manager with clockworkmod recovery?
Ummm.. there both the same?
Nandroid backup is when u go to cwm and "backup"
Rom manager just calls it "current rom backup" but all it does is take u to cwm and backup ur rom
There the same

Thanks, I was getting confused by that. I suspected that they were the same, but I was not sure. I appreciate it.

Its cool; backup is the standard term, but amon sorta 'coined' nandroid, because it was a combination of nand [the memory] + android, backup, so nandroid was the result, so nandroid typically refers to a backup using amon ra recovery. Though in the end, as said, nandroid=backup.
I am new to this rooting world....I rooted my nexus 4 a week back using Nexus root toolkit v1.8.
I then flashed cm11 onto my phone.
I have TWRP recovery on my phone.
I want a full backup of my apps+data+ROM. How's this possible?? Which of these backups allow this..... And how to do these backups.
Also can anyone explain what a kernel is??
Titanium backup can only backup part of your data. Simply because apps can't access everything.
If you want a full backup, you should make a nandroid backup. Which is simply the name for a backup you do through your recovery. (TWRP in your case)
And the explanation of a kernel is really easy to find. So you'll have to use Google for that (I can't really think of a good explanation atm)

Just use the backup toggle in twrp. And no, you can't backup direct to your pc. But afterwards you can copy the backup to your pc. It's good practice to have at least one recent backup there just in case something happens where you'll need it.

Some More Question Regarding Backups :-
Backing Up Using The ROM Manager (By Clockwork Mod) also performs the Nandroid Backup ???
Also when I Restore My Nandroid Backup (Of ROM1) while i am using some other ROM(ROM 2) .....flash the device into the ROM 1 settings and all the systems settings+apps.???

First, don't use rom manager. You don't need it
A nandroid is like a copy of the entire os and all your apps and user settings. If your running rom2 and you restore rom1 all your settings of rom 2 will be forgotten and the ones you had in rom 1 when you backed it up will be restored.

Although this is not really accurate, but this is as close as I can get to. Think of a phone like a car. The engine part which is essential to make your car runs is your kernel while the body, doors, sidemirrors and everything else are part of a rom. Kernel is in the deeper layer of the system.
